Waking the Dead

Caught up Yvette Tan’s Waking the Dead booklaunch at Powerbooks Megamall after a photoshoot on the same day last Saturday. If there’s a beef I have with the south, it’s this cultural desert where I am currently situated that makes me want to go to Manila time and again. The LitCritter guys left early, but there will always be familiar faces to hang around even for a coupla minutes. Also spotted was Ms. Karina Bolasco, Anvil honcho and forever supporter of spec fic (can’t do justice with my picture of her though). Met her for the second time, the first in which we launched Vin Simbulan’s A Time for Dragons where I was anthologized a few years back.
